About Project HealthDesign
Project HealthDesign is forging a new vision of personal health records (PHRs) by exploring practical ways to capture and integrate patient-recorded observations of daily living (ODLs) into clinical care. Learn more about Project HealthDesign.
Observations of Daily Living (ODLs)
Observations of daily living are sensations, feelings-thoughts-attitudes, and behaviors that occur in the course of everyday life – such as sleep patterns, diet, exercise levels, pain episodes, and mood – that are not typically part of one’s clinical record, but are critical to managing an individual’s health and guiding their treatment.
Grantee teams are working to improve patients’ health and well-being by helping them capture, understand and interpret ODLs and to integrate that information into their care.
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Program Office at the University of Wisconsin School of Nursing oversees Project HealthDesign.
The National Advisory Committee plays an important role in providing strategic planning advice for future program direction. They also review and recommend projects.
Project HealthDesign is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Pioneer Portfolio.
